The medical name of whooping cough is pertussis. Attacks of frequent, persistent, spasmodic coughing that ends in vomiting; noisy, convulsive, drawing in of the breath at the extreme of violent cough with a special inspiring sound called whoop or whooping inspiration.After an incubation period of 1-2 weeks, little catarrh, mild fever, coughing, loss of appetite, etc., gradually develop and persist for 1-2 weeks. Later, catarrhal stage is associated with symptoms similar to those of the common cold.

 The stage of whooping cough may last for 2-3 weeks, and if not treated, cough may persist for many more weeks. Whooping cough is seldom serious, but child becomes susceptible to pneumonia and tuberculosis.
